Pregnancy and delivery after lumbosacral junction fixation: A clinical observation

Abstract

The clinical signs of spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis most commonly appear at a young age in professional athletes and ballet dancers. The development and improvement of diagnostic methods and surgical treatment techniques for these pathologies lead to an increase in the number of patients of reproductive age with implants in the lumbosacral junction. A multidisciplinary approach in the management of pregnancy and determination of the delivery method in women with this pathology allows for safe reduction in the incidence of unwarranted operative delivery without worsening maternal and perinatal outcomes. This study presents the clinical case of a patient who had surgery for spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis and delivered successfully through natural childbirth at full-term gestation.
